Pro res 4444 import into AE is Half Res!?

I have some footage in Pro res 4444 1920x1080p coming into AE ( and Premiere ) the footage is half res 960x540 in the Project window for some reason.
Played Directly in QT or FCPX it plays fine and full res.
*Edit* -
I have ProRes 4444 as an export Codec in AE. 
I have FCP7 too.
Anyone got any ideas
Thanks

Try opening the file in QT Pro, view at full size, then save the file. That should fix it. I've seen this before.

  • Exporting Final Cut Pro audio for importing into Avid via OMF

    Greeting Colleagues
    I'm just wondering if there are any special consideration when creating an audio OMF in Final Cut Pro for importing into a PC based Avid edit suite.

  • What is the best video format for importing into After Effects CS5

    Please look at this video, work in progress.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49_wbdKALQk
    The opening, featuring a ribbon of videos, was created in After Effects, using Digieffects Freeform.
    The  issue is the poor quality of the videos that are featured in the  opening -- compared to the higher quality of videos from the original Premiere  project., which you can see at the end of the clip.
    To create the After Effects project, I exported a series of video clips from Premiere  to mp4.
    Then I imported them into AfterEffects.
    The bottom line, and the purpose of this question, is I am thinking that  MP4 was not the best choice for the Adobe Premiere export.
    What  is the best format to export video from in Premiere Pro CS5 to import  into after effects, or to import into any other editing program,  incuding importing right back into Adobe Premiere, if that is eever  needed.
    AVI?
    MOV
    MP4
    And any other settings that will result with the highest qualiity videos for importing.
    Thanks

    To follow on with Wade's suggestion...
    There are lots of ways to get movies and projects and other things back and forth between After Effects and Premiere Pro. This page outlines them:
    "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects"
    If you must render and export a movie out of one application to bring it into another, there is a very basic piece of video workflow advice that you need to keep in mind (which applies to _all_ video software, not just After Effects and Premiere Pro):
    If you're creating a movie to be used in the next step of a post-production pipeline, you _never_ want to use a format that does lossy compression. You either use no compression or (preferable) lossless compression. Examples of codecs that provide lossless compression are the Animation codec and PNG codec at the highest quality settings; these can be used in a QuickTime container, for example. Never compress a movie with lossy compression except at the very end of your pipeline, when you're creating the final movie for distribution.
    MP4 (MPEG-4) is a lossy codec. The quality loss is acceptable for the last stage in the pipeline, but it's not acceptable for an intermediate file.
    It seems that you would benefit from reading this and and working your way through this.

    Okay, here's where I stand at this point regarding exporting and/or dynamic linking between AfterEffects and Premiere.
    I'm in After Effects.  I create a composition I like.  So I first tried the old fashioned way. I exported it into a MOV file with the animation preset. Millions of colors.  Same frame rate as my Premiere project, which also uses MOV files with no problem.
    Howver when I import the MOV file created by After effects, the NEW MOV file section of the premier project plays sluggish.  And it also causes the videos that follow to play sluggish.   And they are all MOV files at the same frame rate.
    The same thing happens when I do a dynamic link between the two projects.  A sluggish response starting with the After Effects dynamic link and affecting the MOV video files that follow.
    It's a very short After Effects composition.  About 3 second slong.
    I have a very powerful computer built especially for CS5 and premiere --so that should not be an issue -- recently was in the top ten of the benchmark list.
    Up to this point my video files have played perfectly layer upon layer with no problems.
    Is there something I am not considering?
    Thanks.

  • Pro Res 4444 to Pro Res 422

    I have Pro Res 4444 footage that I want to edit in FCS for the web.  My understanding is that it would be better to work in Pro Res 422 (easier to work with etc).  Would it make sense to import the Pro Res 4444 in FC and used compressor to export it to a Pro Res 422 format?  Or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Take the footage directly into Compressor and convert to 422.  No reason to go to FCP first.  OR...better yet. With the footage in FCP, use the media Manager to RECOMPRESS to PR422.

  • Trouble exporting Pro Res  4444 at current settings through QT

    Hi. I'm editing a sequence with settings at Pro Res 4444, frame size 2048/1024 (footage shot on Red). It's 25 minutes long. The client wants me to deliver a self-contained movie at current settings. When I try to export one (choosing 'export'/'quicktime movie'), after getting 3-5 pct done, it stops and a '! General Error' message appears.
    There's plenty of room on my drive.
    Anyone know what 'general error' might mean in this case? Is it perhaps impossible to export a file this big (I expect it to be about 60G)? If it is indeed not possible, any tips on what alternate settings I can use to give the client the best possible quality?

    First you should know that FCE doesn't work natively with h.264 files.  It will try, but in the long run you'll encounter a lot of problems.  Since FCE was designed to only work with the QuickTime DV and AIC formats, you'll need to convert the footage prior to importing.  If your version has a Log & Transfer function, there might be a plugin you can download from Canon that will transcode the files into the proper format.  But whatever you do, when converting the files, the video specs MUST exactly match the specs of your FCE Sequence.
    If you want to edit h.264 files natively, use Adobe Premier or FCP-X.

  • Convert Alpha graphic to pro res 4444

    I can't seem to get this to work. I have some keyable(alpha) animations that I have added sound to and I want to export them as pro res 4444 with alpha and audio and use in other projects. I've used QT conversion selecting pro res 4444 and when I import them into the new project they won't key and the item properties for the clips indicate none for alpha. Manually changing that to straight doesn't fix the problem. What am I doing wrong?

    Is there a easy way to unrender a seq as opposed to replacing the video
    You can use any of several techniques, Render Manager, for one, disable and then re-enable cip, for another. Remove Attributes, sort of, carefully select on option but you need to do the experimentation on your own.

  • Fcp forces me to render Apple Pro Res 4444 files when i drop on timeline

    i shoot with the canon 5d mark ii and i have been having problems making my videos easy to edit. I convert them from h.264 to the apple pro res 4444. when i take the files and then attempt to drag them into the project timeline, i am prompted to change the settings to match that of the video format. when i select no, all of the files require me to render before playback. when i select yes, i always get dropped frames and the video stalls and fails to play. selecting no and rendering is not time efficient at all and i know there is a better way to do this. any help or suggestions? i'm clearly doing something wrong.

    Hi -
    While it may seem counterintuitive, transcoding to a ultra-high quality, specialized format like ProRes 4444 actually, in most cases, counter productive.
    Converting your h.264 files to ProRes 4444 is like buying size 26 shoes for size 9 feet. Apple ProRes 4444 is there for specialized use by people editing large frame size images +WITH an alpha channel for each frame+. To properly play it back will require both a high horsepower computer and high speed disk drive array to support the data rate involved in that format.
    May I make a suggestion? I would be to convert your h.264 material to Pro Res 422. Even ProRes HQ is beyond what you need to handle your material correctly.
    When you convert your files to ProRes 422, and allow FCP to set the sequence to the same settings, you will find that you will be able to edit without rendering. And don't worry - the quality of your image is set by the h.264 compression, the conversion to Pro Res 422 will not degrade it.
    A frequent example given on these boards: if you take a can of beer, and pour it in a keg, you still have just a can of beer, but it is harder to carry around - and the keg certainly takes up more space.
    There is a very useful White Paper written by Apple that describes the various flavors of ProRes and their correct application at:

  • How do I save my iPhone videos to my MacBook Pro? It seems like they import into iPhoto as photos instead of videos...?

    I need to open up some space on my iPhone 5 but I have a ton of videos of my newborn/toddler son on it that I don't want to lose.  What is the best way to ensure they are archived safely to my MacBook Pro hard drive?  It seems that they import into iPhoto along with the photos, but I'm not sure if they stay videos or get turned into photos.  If they are in iPhoto, what's the best way to make sure they get exported and backed up to an external safely.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    An imported video cannot change or get turned into a photo file by the import. An imported video will have an icon of a still frame from the video. Have you selected any of the imported videos in iPhoto to watch/play the video?
    With a Mac, you can import photos and videos with iPhoto or with the Image Capture application. One is not better than the other.
    To include your iPhoto library with your computer's backup, select and drag the iPhoto Library file located in the Pictures folder in your Home directory to the external hard drive.

  • Video quality changes when imported into Final Cut Pro

    I have video files that I have imported from an external hard drive that were transferred from an HD camera. When viewing the footage directly from the hard drive, the quality is great. Once imported into Final Cut Pro, however, there are small "flares" (don't know how else to describe them) that appear for split seconds across the screen. The best way to describe it is if you are watching a television that has an antenna, there will be static or interferance on the image. This is barely noticable but I can't determine what would cause the decline in quality. My video settings are set to DV NTSC 48 kHz and wonder if this is the problem or if anyone knows of something else that I should change prior to importing.

    Thank you so much for your help! I am technically challenged and STRUGGLING to say the least.
    Some files are definitely H.264 and I can convert them to ProRes. I also have clips that are
    DVCPRO HD 1080p25, 1,440 x 1,080 (1,888 x 1,062)
    Linear PCM, 16 bit big-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
    Current Size: 1,440 × 810 pixels
    Will I need to do anything to those as well?
    Here is the question I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer already. Can I simply replace the clips in my sequence with the newly compressed ProRes files or do I have to change all of the video and sequence settings and then start all over?

    Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

    Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

    Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

  • Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi,
    I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min.  This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes.  I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces.  Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
    Thanks,
    Serena

    There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
    Good luck,

  • QuickTime 10.1 Screen Recordings Blurry Once Imported into Premiere Pro CS6

    I am doing screen recordings with QuickTime 10.1 that appear to be of good quality until I import into Premiere Pro CS6 and then they display and export very poorly and very blurry to the point that you can't read the text on the page. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

    Hi Kristine,
    Make sure that the clips are positioned on the X,Y axis as whole integers, not integers + decimal points. See if that works for you.

  • How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

    I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro.  I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
    The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
    But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
    I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

    I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done.  Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!
